Gates wouldn't let the officer use his computer to Google it...

LMAO!!! jackass...

that sucks. One of my co-workers died on July 5th from a 2 year battle with prostate cancer. that's some mean stuff...

according to Wikipedia he isn't: Aaron Neville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia but I coulda sworn he died shortly after Katrina.

yeah, but that one was fugly! lol! tiny bit of useless info: My family and I are in Days of Thunder. We are up in the stands during the "Phoenix" race. We were up there for the real race, and they broke out all these showcars and did some filming for the movie. Pretty cool stuff.

and here I thought Aaron Neville was dead... live and learn.

We used to have Hardee's in AZ. About 25 or so years ago they changed them all over to Carl Jr. I remember being ticked that they went to Carls Jr, because Hardee's sponsored Cale Yarborough's racecar. [attach=full]2453[/attach]

.

like I said- your loss, not mine.

faints the divorce comment was a joke.... it is so not my fault if cannot grasp the difference between a joke and a real attack. your loss, not mine, bud.

somebodies jealous!

if they wanted to blow up cops, wouldn't it be easier to plant the bomb in a donut shop? [attach=full]2450[/attach]

I think it's a fair assumption that everyone here (sans you Timesjoke) understood IWS's joke and understood it to be a joke. This just further proves my point that you don't care to try to understand us. Just tossing that "holier than thou" attitude around some more. but, I bet I'm just kissing IWS's ass now too, right? edit: OH wait!! I get it!!! TJ doesn't believe his divorce ever happened! It makes sense now!

not a bit. It just means that I am tired of this from you and am ready to move on. I tried, you failed. My head is not strong enough to take any more wall beating. That's how I took it, because time after time TJ's shows that his own life experiences trump everyone else's.

hey look ,me saying something nice to TJ, and it's even within the last year. go figure.

meet in the middle huh? nice attempt to pin this all on me. whatever. See, I've tried with you, and just don't care anymore if you get my humor, my style of writing, or understand anything about me. You obviously don't care to know the real me, so why should I care? You are like wez to me. Maybe you're here, maybe you're not. Either way, I'll carry on like I always do. If you want to get to know me, then fine. If you want to think you're better than me, then fine. If you decide not to come back, then fine. if you want to just co-exist, then fine. Carry on then.

yeah, lets hope Obama learns something from this.

Happy Birthday Bender.

un -freaking- believable.... [attach=full]2416[/attach] ya know what, you shouldn't ever expect a joke from me or anyone else. Because you won't take the time and/or energy to learn us. period. I'm done for now.

both valid points, and I can see where you are coming from with them. I do still think that this will give gov't more of a foothold in our daily lives, though, when it already has more than it needs to have now. I just think it is stupid that we have to have a law to keep people from doing stupid things. It's a fine line in letting gov't get to big for it's britches, and it will be darn near impossible to cross back over later.

hmmm, ya know, I think that is why you struggle understanding people on these boards. See, I have friends here, and frankly it matters to me how they are doing, what their opinions are, and what they say. Some have different opinions, but I care what they say. Sure, in the end, it is all just words on a screen that I can turn off at anytime, but to me there are real people behind those words, and real people that I care about. I enjoy reading, learning, and discussing/debating with these people. It makes me happy. Hopefully, I bring some happiness into their lives as well. When my friends hurt, I hurt. When they are sad, I am sad. When something good happens in their lives, I am happy for them. and yes, sometimes they affect my sleeping patterns. I will probably never meet anyone from here in real life, but that doesn't make their friendship any less special to me than those that I have in my non-internet world. Maybe you should try taking us for who we are, and learn who we are, instead of always trying to be better than us. Maybe then you can start to understand our humor, our idiosyncrasies, our mannerisms, and then we could communicate on a deeper level- without all the crap (whether that crap is real or imagined) tossed in. We're good people TJ, and you are missing most of it by going out of your way to be better than us.

whatever helps ya sleep better at night, TJ. I already won.

got this in an e-mail Here is an example of why hiring illegal aliens is not economically productive for the State of California or anywhere else. You have 2 families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". (not undocumented alien, illegal- not here legally) Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California . "Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25/hour with payroll taxes deducted.. "Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has no Social Security Number, and gets paid $15/hour cash "under the table". ________________________________________ Joe Legal: $25/hour x 40 hours = $1,000/week, $52,000/year Now take 30% away for state and federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231. Jose Illegal: $15/hour x 40 hours = $600/week, $31,200/year Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200. ________________________________________ Joe Legal pays Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage: $1,000/month, $12,000/year Joe Legal now has $19,231. Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0 per year Jose Illegal still has $31,200. ________________________________________ Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for Food Stamps or welfare Joe Legal pays for food: $1,000/month, $12,000/year Joe Legal now has $ 7,231.00 Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200. ________________________________________ Joe Legal pays rent: $1,000/month, $12,000/year Joe Legal is now in the hole: minus (-) $4,769. Jose Illegal receives a $500/month Federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays rent: $500/month (section 8 housing), 6,000/per year Jose Illegal still has $25,200. ________________________________________ Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work. Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family (and eat out!). ________________________________________ Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored breakfast and lunch, and they also qualify to be "bussed to school" at taxpayer expense. Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children have to find a way to get to school and go home after school -- as "latch-key kids" with no adult supervision. ________________________________________ Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay. Jose Illegal can send most of his money back home to build a new home for retirement, have money to buy a new truck, and still have Medi-Cal benefits while living in a foreign country (until someone turns him in to authorities ... if they ever find out)!! Joe will be lucky if he has any money for retirement, a new vehicle, medical/dental benefits, or a place to live. ________________________________________ I have done the math; all you have to do is to look at it yourself. Don't hire illegal aliens. Don't vote for any politician that supports illegal aliens. And most important of all, write your politicians and let them know how you feel. One more thing: Jose illegal's wife claims "single, no head of Household" and collects additional benefits that Joe's legal wife cannot claim. No wonder our country is in trouble. CAN A REVOLUTION BE FAR AWAY? The government cannot give to anyone anything that it does not first take from someone else--

Because, as I see it, it would most definitely be giving gov't more control over our lives as citizens. more control = bigger gov't. People as a whole are stupid and irresponsible, so where does that line stop? Now it's cell phones and texting. What's next? no eating while driving? no radio's? no talking to passengers? everyone only allowed to drive a GM because they are "safer" (and the gov't owns stake in them?) No halter tops for women while driving because they might distract that guy next to you? Honestly a texting ban would affect me none. I don't text while driving. I did once, and immediately realized how much attention it took away from my driving, and how dangerous it was. Both my sisters, however, do, and both have gotten a lecture from me about how stupid a decision it is. At what point to we just had over all control and become mindless puppets? People (as a whole) have GOT to start taking responsibility for themselves and quit counting on big gov't to protect them from themselves.
